Desperate for aid, the city watch turns to bold adventurers, revealing more of the murders’ gruesome details and bringing the heroes in on a daring plan to catch the killer — a plot that makes them a tempting target for the maniac’s bloody knife.
This dangerous ploy sets the heroes on a path fraught with savage creatures, decades-old secrets, and the dark desires of an immortal evil that seeks to pervert a forgotten house of worship.
Will they be able to put an end to the slaughter? Or will all of Magnimar drown in the rising tide of blood?
Greetings.
For those of you who don't know, Dawn of the Scarlet Sun is Paizo's 2013 Free RPG day module. It is about the length of a PFS scenario and grants 1xp, 1PP and commensurate gold.
Please note, that this is not a 1 post a day game, the pace will be considerably quicker than that. (My last pbp took ~14 days averaging 3 posts/day/person including weekends, I would like to keep a similar pace for this one)
I am an experienced GM however this is my first time GMing this particular adventure. No matter how much time I waste staring at rulebooks, I will still make mistakes. If you do notice anything you think is wrong or even questionable please feel free to bring it up in discussion. I love learning new things.
I will do my best to keep the game moving quickly and to be as fun as possible. I will not softball the challenges, nor will I increase their difficulty, be prepared to live or die by your own skill and the roll of the dice.
As a note there we some complaints about difficulty when the Module was first released so I recommend against playing a pregen.
Please note that because of the Gameday rules the game will not start until April 5th.
Personally, I'm not particularly fond of gunslingers, but I also don't like avocado. I find neither offensive at my table though :)

Turns out I like avocado too!
Mind if I ask what your aversion to gunslingers is? Some think they are too powerful, others just don't like guns. I try to keep Maps reigned in, and I've never had a complaint, but he's about to hit that golden level where gun training kicks in and I don't want to sour anyone's experience.
I'm just not particularly fond of guns in my fantasy, I'm not especially concerned about their powerlevel.
Dotting! Would like to join if there is room.
Narvik Drak
Ilmakis
Maps
GM Tektite
Mashita Nagamori
Looks like 5 so far, leaving room for 1 more.
Err That makes 6, Hailey has discovered the problem with finger counting however.
I have multiple character available.
Level 5 Inquisitor of Sarenrae (tempted to bring him)
Level 6 Bard archaeologist
Level 5 Ranger urban
Level 5 Magus
Level 5 Oracle life/ Barbarian
If room opens up I'll jump in on this one. I have several characters in range.
Since it looks like you have six already I supposed just put me on the waitlist for now in case someone drops.
Ah, Tektite, we could have had another magus party!
Ah man, if you guys had the magus thing going I'd bring Quiven for sure. We'd have a rogue that way. That is assuming the 2nd book of RotRL isn't happening.
Gameplay & Discussion threads are up.
While we can't start till April I do have a couple things for us to take care of prior to the game. (Nut not till next week at the earliest)
Let me know if a spot opens up! Good luck everyone, the final fight in this one can be mean! (GM'd it last year)
Will do.
